An Entertainment intirely adapted to the taste of all Ladies, Gentlemen, Bucks, Bloods, and Choice Spirits; but more expecially those who are fond of Liberpy and Roast Beef. In which will be introduced a group of odd, but diverting characters, being the work of a great master in the Creative Faculty. To render the dish more agreeable to every palate, it will be garnished with singing and dancing-; particularly a song on the late Victories obtained by our Fleets and Armies, and a Welcome to Southwark Fair. With a Hornpipe-a British Genius; whose valour was conducive to the reduction of Quebec. The whole to conclude with the View of a magnificent Monument erected to the Memory of the late General Wolfe. And a Monody- to be spoken on the death of that brave and much lamented Hero.".
